de Chardin’s Omega Point

 

 

If I knew where I was sailing from,

I could calculate where I was sailing to.

 

-Number Six, The Prisoner: The Chimes of Big Ben

 

 

The Philosopher suggests there is an Omega Point

Where the physics and mysteries of Creation converge

Where the End is the Beginning without an end

The Good, the True, and the Beautiful unified

 

Then there must have been, or is, or will be

An Alpha base of Creation and Incarnation

Snakes and sinners writhing beneath the Tree

The Seder as the Last Supper, or the First

 

The Philosopher suggests there is an Omega Point -

But I don’t seem to have a map

"Beyond These Symbols" - poem

Lawrence Hall

“Beyond These Symbols”

How attractive he is, and how beset
By those stuffy boots on a Roman hill
How progressive, how forward, how brilliant
And how attached to the bubbly How Now

How fashionable with all his little books
So happenin’, so 1928
“Beyond these symbols” he writes the fashions
About some bones (so conveniently lost)

In the Gobi Desert he dug a tooth
And then upon this molar built his
                                                              truth?
